Technical Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for managing a storage device. The method includes: determining, based on the frequency of data access to the storage device, whether a data access component of the storage device will move; determining, if it is determined that the data access component will move, a first storage unit in the storage device based on a storage location of previously accessed data in the storage device, wherein the data access component is located at a first spatial location corresponding to the first storage unit; and sending a read request for data in a second storage unit in the storage device that is adjacent to the first storage unit, so as to cause the data access component to move from the first spatial location to a second spatial location corresponding to the second storage unit. The embodiments of the present disclosure can reduce the latency of data access to the storage device.
